76ers Heat NBA Playoffs Game 4 Preview
LeBron James is the only player since “The Big O” with any chance at all of averaging a triple-double. That says something.
This season brings a lack of parity for the NBA award. Many have already assumed LeBron James will win his fourth MVP award, because parity isn’t always even rewarded in MVP voting.

76ers Heat NBA Playoffs Game 4 Preview
LeBron James will be playing mostly at power forward in International play, which is fitting considering he has the build of Karl Malone with three times the foot speed. Look for LBJ to dominate at both forward slots.
France enters the tournament as one of the more vaunted teams, but that’s not saying much. The US is a heavy favorite, and France sits at 25/1 odds to win it according to Bookmaker. Bovada.lv, meanwhile, sets the spread at -26 and the total at 169.

Wade will be covered by the tandem of 6th man of the year James Harden and starter Thabo Sefolosha
The Finals are finally here, and we have a host of prop bets to evaluate for Game 1. Game 1 prop bets can be a bit tricky, because other than the two regular season meetings between the teams, we have very little precedent. Things will be different than their previous series in this playoff, because, well, there are different opponents. Consequently, I stayed away from more bets than usual, but I’ll explain why, and take a look at the ones that I did feel confident on given past performances or other considerations.
